Hello,
Thanks for the consult....

Brief answer,
Apply NIZORAL shampoo 3 times per week on the scalp
Tab.levocetrizine 5mg once at night for 3 days

Detailed explanation,
1. I seen your query there are so many symptoms for hiv the symptom which you mentioned will not come under hiv symptoms
2. The itchy sores on the head represent dandruff nothing but a fungal infection and one of the common symtom is the hair becoming thin
3. Apply NIZORAL Shampoo which contains 2% ketaconazole 3 times in a week on the scalp
4. For itching use tab. Levocetrizine 5mg once daily at night for 3 days
